Groupings & Starting Times for the 69th U.S. Women's Open

The United States Golf Association (USGA) has announced the groupings and tee times for the first two rounds of next week's 2014 U.S. Women's Open. The championship starts June 19 at the 6,649-yard, par-70 Course No. 2 at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club (Course No. 2) in North Carolina.

The U.S. Women's Open is a 72-hole, stroke-play competition. A field of 156 players will play 18 holes of stroke play on June 19 and 20, after which the field will be reduced to the low 60 scores and ties. Those players making the cut will play 18 holes on June 21 and 22. In the event of a tie after 72 holes, a three-hole aggregate score playoff will immediately follow. If this playoff results in a tie, the tied players will immediately continue to play off hole by hole until the winner is determined.
